Interesting facts and trivia about Wasting My Hate. By Songfacts®.

This song was inspired by the country music outlaw Waylon Jennings, a good friend of James Hetfield. According to a story he told Hetfield, Waylon was on vacation in Jamaica, sitting in a bar when one of the locals just kept staring at him. This started to make Waylon very angry, but later he found out the Jamaican was high and had no idea he was staring, meaning Waylon was angry for no reason. He was wasting his hate on the Jamaican.
